## Description

A Firefox extension that replicates the quick tab-switching experience from Brave/Chrome, with Vim motions because I love Vim.

The shortcut is <code>Ctrl+Shift+Space</code> I found that to be comfortable enough, you can change it later for whatever you like.

Features
<ul><li>Fuzzy search across tab titles and domains, similar to Brave's tab search</li><li>Domain-first ranking — prioritizes matching the hostname, then the title</li><li>MRU (most recently used) tab ordering</li><li>Highlights matched characters in search results</li><li>Recently closed tabs — search and restore them instantly</li><li>Audible tab indicators</li></ul>
Navigation

| Key                     | Action                 |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------- |
| <code>Arrow Up</code> / <code>Ctrl+K</code>   | Move up                |
| <code>Arrow Down</code> / <code>Ctrl+J</code> | Move down              |
| <code>Enter</code> / <code>Ctrl+L</code>      | Switch to selected tab |
| <code>Escape</code>                | Close popup            |

I decided to create this app because I couldn't find something even close to the behavior and the snappiness I was looking for.
